If you want to capture the Internet even in the most remote areas of the globe, Starlink is a good solution.
Especially since the French prices for this satellite web service were lowered on Wednesday, reports

.
The device, which has belonged to SpaceX and Elon Musk since the beginning of 2000, makes it possible to connect almost anywhere on the planet, but the price of its subscription has long been an obstacle to its success.
The situation could change quickly because the access provider has indicated that its subscription has gone from 99 to 50 euros per month for French customers.
This solution is particularly tempting if you live in an area with little or poor wired Internet coverage.
You will need to acquire the necessary equipment for this in the form of a pack at 634 euros.
It includes the dish to be placed in the direction of the sky, the Wi-Fi router, the mounting tripod, the cables and the power supply.
The lot cost 499 euros until last March.
Pay to avoid delays
Starlink also has that a “fair use policy” will be applied from October 2022. It will consist of favoring those who use less than 250 GB per month.
Large consumers will thus be able to observe slowness on the network.
"Users can also choose to purchase additional data to recover priority at 10 euros / 100 GB", nevertheless announced the operator.
The reduction in subscription prices is already applied on the Starlink website.
It only concerns customers in mainland France.
Changes in terms of fair sharing of data transfer capacity were announced by email to already registered users.
For all intents and purposes, it is possible to test system for 30 days for free.
